updates to make morph transparently available when building images

+## The Future (or how to not Proxmox)
+
+### Or how it works without the script
+
+Proxmox is not _at all_ a requirement for using this.
+
+Neither is Samba.  They are requirements for the mkvirt function in shell.nix.
+
+This may be replaced or not used at all.  The image created in result/nixos.img will boot on most hypervisors.
+
+After the image is created and booted, it must be morphed.
+
+The first step in morphing is making the machine resolveable.  This is done with Samba but may be done with
+another DNS system.  The key is that it must be resolveable _immediately_ after the record is created because
+morph then uses that record to find the machine.  Reworking this to use IPs would require changing morph's
+defaults or explicitly setting the deployment target address to be something other than the hostname.
+
+After the host is resolveable, morph.
+
+### Interesting Places
+
+* `custom-image.nix`
+  * nixos.img disk size, format, partition table, etc
+* `common/ssh.nix`
+  * configure ssh package (such as `openssh_gssapi` vs `openssh`)
+* `common/users.nix`
+  * the deploy user, ssh keys, shell, etc.
+* `functions/*.nix`
+  * a function per file
+  * load default.nix to load all functions by name in a set
+* `hosts/*`
+  * hosts deployed via morph are pulled from here automatically
+  * files in this folder should be informational only.  they _do not_ return a function.
+  * functionality which requires access to config or pkgs should be implemented in `profiles/` and loaded by name in imports.
+* `profiles/*`
+  * profiles for describing machines of a certain class.
+  * profiles may represent hardware such as `api` and `qemu-vm` or a configuration pattern such as `dhcp-server` or `base`.
+  * the `base` profile is special in that it _should_ always be loaded.  it is generally included by the hardware profile.
+* `shell.nix`
+  * shell functions and configuration to build and deploy machines
+    * `env_cascade`
+      * discover domain, and realm config such as domain controller (samba) to send DNS updates to
+      * sanitize config
+      * returns env vars
+	* `$DOMAIN` 
+	  * domain name (from hostname -d), lowercase
+	* `$REALM` 
+	  * domain name (from hostname -d), uppercase
+        * `$workgroup`
+	  * workgroup (first domain segment), lowercase
+	* `$WORKGROUP`
+	  * workgroup (first domain segment), uppercase
+	* `$DC`
+	  * lookup PTR of (lookup A of $DOMAIN)
+	  * this will find a domain controller in a "normal" domain such as is created by default in Samba
+    * `env_name`
+      * sanitize hostname
+      * returns env vars
+        * `$name` hostname, lowercase
+	* `$NAME` hostname, uppercase
+    * `samba-create-ipv4-records`
+      * create DNS records
+    * `wait-for-vm-ipv4`
+      * wait for a VM to have an ipv4 address in a private subnet
+    * `mkvirt`
+      * `morph build`
+      * get an unused VMID from Proxmox
+      * create a new virt with discovered VMID
+      * wait for IP
+      * create DNS record with IP
+      * morph deploy to single machine
+    * `destroy-host`
+      * removes hosts/$name.nix
+      * removes DNS entry for $name.$DOMAIN
